Populations affectées et organisations locales dans la sécurité humanitaire, 2004

01/01/2004

In the east of the DRC, several elements raise the question of the acceptance of the various actors involved in assisting the affected populations and the legitimacy of taking action. Indeed, the international nature of the crisis (involvement of neighbouring countries and world powers) has led to particular attention being paid to the country of origin of humanitarian actors. Thus, the questions of the independence and legitimacy of the action or the perception of the latter by the populations are acutely raised according to the involvement of the country of origin of a humanitarian actor in the crises in eastern DRC.
